How to make

  1. STEP 1

    Combine brown sugar and butter in bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until well mixed. Add eggs and vanilla; continue beating until well mixed. Add flour and baking soda; beat at low speed until well mixed.

  2. STEP 2

    Divide dough in half. Shape each half into a ball; flatten slightly. Wrap each in plastic food wrap; refrigerate 1 hour or until firm.

  3. STEP 3

    Combine all filling ingredients except walnuts in 2-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, 3-6 minutes or until mixture comes to a boil. Continue boiling, stirring occasionally, 6-8 minutes or until thickened. Stir in walnuts. Cover; refrigerate until ready to fill cookies.

  4. STEP 4

    Heat oven to 350°F.

  5. STEP 5

    Roll out dough on lightly floured surface, one-half at a time (keeping remaining dough refrigerated), to 1/8-inch thickness.

  6. STEP 6

    Cut 15 circles with 2-inch round cookie cutter. Place 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Top each round with 2 teaspoons filling, spreading nearly to edges.

  7. STEP 7

    Cut 15 circles with 2 1/4-inch round cookie cutter from remaining rolled dough. Make small cut-out with very small cookie cutter in tops of larger circles. Place on top of filling; press edges together with fork.
